Yuan Jiang was assisted in his work by a number of other artists, including his nephew Yuan Yao, who continued to practice the family style into the late eighteenth century.

This handscroll, which is a close copy of Yuan Jiang's original composition, now in the Tianjin Municipal History Museum, records in detail the appearance of the Zhanyuan, or "Gazing Garden," of Nanjing, which was part of the estate of a Manchu official; thus, it preserves a valuable record of an otherwise lost garden of the early eighteenth century.
